I can see the headlines now "It 's good enough for the Serbians, why not Blackwater"? It's a no brainer, we can't just go around the world protecting people who commit murder, regardless of what some politicians may think. There are people who want to crucify us just for being there, if we start carrying on like we are a law unto ourselves, we've lost it,..... completely.
Men were sent to the gallows in WWII for similar things, and I'm talking about the Allies not the Germans. |
Been following the Trials and Sentencing of those in the United States Military found guilty of wrongfully and yet willfully killing Iraqis?
Iraqi life is cheap, not worth much at all, and in the end the United States could say that the Mercs from Blackwater cannot receive a Fair Trial in Iraq, and theres a Report out today that the White House is standing against the United States Congress on a Bill that would bring the Mercs in Iraq under some kind of Law.
I see Blanket Pardons on the horizon, which is still better than blanket Immunity from Prosecution, but not much.
